The Kortney Rose Foundation
The Kortney Rose Foundation (KRF) is a 501(c)(3) organization that was set up by Kortney’s mom as a way to channel her grief after losing 9-year-old Kortney to a rare brain tumor called brain stem glioma. The foundation hopes to make a difference in the fight to find better treatments and ultimately a cure for pediatric brain tumors, thus creating Kortney’s legacy of helping other children with brain tumors through the promise of research. In the past five years the foundation has donated more than $528,000 to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s brain tumor research efforts, specifically the hospital's Large Scale Genome Project and Brain Tissue Consortium.
